[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]sorry guys! my compy crashed too...blah. I don't really have a lot of time to post right now....only able to go online at work, if I'm lucky. I shall try my best to get something up. :([/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkRed"]...and it dies. *sigh* Well, if anyone else is willing to continue it, I am. LETS DO THIS!!![/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkRed"]YAY! Shnorkel is now with everyone else. So, just to clarify, I kind of baised his personality off of Ducky from "Land Before Time." (and, rememeber, he has spiky white hair, as well as stained linen bandages covering everything except his eyes, hair, and mouth.) Anyways, I wish I could write more...but, writer's block. LOL. ~Ra p.s. - what exactly does the surrounding area look like right now? I'm so confused on that part...[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR=darkred]Shnorkel had left the inn when the crowd has started to disperse. After sleeping a fair distance away from Rensing, he and Soren awoke at dawn. He was curious about what was to happen to this Hope, of whom he had heard so much of the night before. Therefore, after a quick meal from the rations, he started the walk back.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]After a bit of time, he saw a huge lighning bolt flash. [I]From the Rensing! Curious, curious, curious.[/I] After a few moments, his attention was drawn to the stormy sky. There, growing bigger by the second, where two black dots. He stopped, and Soren started to chatter nervously. As it grew, he realized it was something IN the sky, and it was comming towards him![/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]He rushed over to a cluster of rocks, hoping it would provide enough cover. From this new vantage point, he watched and waited. Closer, closer, closer...he saw that the forms where humanoid, but he couldn't tell what, exactly. He did notice, however, that there where four of them. [I]Too many. Must stay hidden. Yes, yes, yes.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]Presently, they seemed to stop right above him. Yet, they still grew larger. He got his bow out, and fealt the familiar tingling in his arms. Soren crouched beside him on another rock, squeeking with apparent anxiety.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]"Shnorkel feel it, too. Magic, magic, magic, eh Soren?"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]The forms where beginning to be discernable, and Shnorkel was surprised at what he saw. [I]Twins and child from the Rensing? Curious, curious, curious.[/I] There were one other human, but he didn't recognize him.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]They weren't quite above him, he now saw. They where still a while off, towards the city. He gathered himself, readied an arrow, and walked towards them.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]After a few minutes, he saw where they had landed. [I]Another human? No, no, no, it look too big.[/I] He got closer, [I]Ah, it horse with TWO human on it! Silly, silly, silly Shnorkel.[/I] Words drifted across to him, coming from the really, really big one with the long gray hair.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]"...help if I am ever going to kill Dalmasca. Don’t worry though, I am patient and will stay until she decides to help me.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]At that, Soren jumped from Shnorkel's shoulder and bolted to the horse. Poor thing was facing the other way, and became quite frightened when Soren clung to it's tail, swinging like a pendulum. Shnorkel started to laugh out loud at the sight, and all of those gathered turned as one. The horse, which had started to kick at the damn monkey, succeeded at scaring him off. Scampering back over to Shnorkel, he chittered his little monkey laugh.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]Soren aimed his bow at the big one, still giggling to himself. The one on the horse was red in the face, and yelled, "What did you do to Kumi? Stay back!" Shnorkel aimed at him, and rolled his crimson red eyes.[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]"Shnorkel not do anything! Soren did, silly, silly, silly horse boy. Soren like cause trouble."[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]One of the twins from before, the female one, smiled at him and walked over. He re-aimed at her this time. "Your name is Shnorkel? I'm Ayeika, and this is my brother, Lu-"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]The silly boy on the horse charged away from them. "This was a trap! You don't mean to save Hope! Liars!"[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkred]"Quiet, silly horse boy!" Shnorkel yelled. "Shnorkel have no trap. Nope, nope, nope. Shnorkel hear of Hope, too. Shnorkel an Soren can help?"[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="DarkRed"][i]Crunch...crunch...crunch.[/i] Droplets of water sprinkled on the figure from the trees above. The nearly black leather armor rubbed in awkward places, making him feel the coming on of rashes. However, the strips of linen saved him from the worst of it. Two quivers, made of the same leather, bounced lightly against his thighs as he walked, oh so carefully. His steps left no track on the floor, nor no sound. His dark ebony bow, as ever, was at the ready. [i]Crunch...crunch.[/i] A familiar tingling ran though his arms. The twin cloth armbands, stained a deep green, shimmered with a nearly invisible aura. [i]Magic, magic, magic,[/i] he thought to himself. [i]Such an odd thing, but very useful.[/i] [i]Crunch.[/i] He knew he was drawing closer to his prey. The small deer was just there, on the other side of the bushes. He crept to the edge of the bushes, slowly, slowly. Pulling back the arrow, feeling the magic coursing through his arms, the sudden rush of adrenaline - [i]This is what Shnorkel was meant to do.[/i] Finally, the edge. [i]There![/i] As he aimed, a white blur flew across his vision. This distracted him enough to send the arrow flying harmlessly into the ground a few feet away fromt he deer. He cursed aloud, watching the deer lumber away into the green maze. "SOREN! Why do you do that for?!?" he yelled into the bushes. A chattering was all that answered. "Laughing at Shnorkel? Stupid animal...fine! Shnorkel and Soren won't eat tonight!" With that, he stomped off into the forrest. He walked aimlessly, letting his feet choose the path themselves. [i]Stupid, stupid, stupid. Doesn't Soren get it? Stupid, stupid, stupid.[/i] As he went, he heard the scampering of his white, furry friend following him. He heard the branches bend, the leaves fall onto the wet ground. [i]After that storm last night, it harder to find things that aren't all hiding. Hard, hard, hard. Soren so careless, stupid animal.[/i] As the sounds from above grew louder, he picked up the pace. grabbing a fallen acorn, he turned to throw it at the sound. Up in the branches, hanging from a long tail, swung Soren, the albino spider monkey. Throwing it with perfect aim, he knew it would knock the stupid animal down. Soren, however, simply caught it in one of his hands, and therw it back. It bounced off Shnorkel's spikey white hair. "Good shot, Soren!" he exclaimed happily. "Didn't think Soren'd be able to respond that fast! Fast, fast, fast." The familiar game always made him feel better after Soren had pissed him off, especially when it hit the damn thing. "Alright, my friend Soren, time to go, go, go!" The monkey dropped from the tree, grabbed two apples, and lunged onto Shnorkel's right shoulder. He passed one to Shnorkel, and both promptly began to eat. [CENTER]- - - - -[/CENTER] Shnokel had walked for days. His travels had brought him to the forrest, and then across a mountain. He was ambushed by a couple outlaws on the mountain passage. After killing the would-be robbers, he looted them. There was a purse of coins on each, simple weapons and armor, almost empty packs, and a package of rations. He took the food for nurishment, took the coins because they where sparkly, and left the rest. And, down the hill he went. He continued down the road, and saw a town. There was a crowd of villagers streaming into a large building. He tried to hear what they where saying, but it was all lost in the wind. As he approached the entrance, he put away his bow, and donned the hooded cloak kept safely in his pack. Lowering the hood, he passed the guard with no response to his warm greeting. [i]Rensing, huh?[/i] Soren sneeked past, then jumped on Shnorkel's shoulder just before he entered the Inn. The crowd almost overpowered him. [i]Too many, too many, too many! Shnorkel not like this one bit. No, no, no.[/i] He saw two human twins and a child go up the stairs. He glanced around, and sat at an empty table, hidden in a darker corner. His enterance had apparently gone unnoticed, which pleased him. Soren left his shoulder, and perched himself on a beam overhead. Sitting back, he listened to what the Villiagers where ranting and raving about...[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][size=1]Hokay! Now that I'm all settled from my absence, I'm about to post. Bah. I need more time for this....and, again, sorry it's taken so long! :) ~Ra EDIT THERE! FINALLY! Ugggh.....okay, I'll be good and keep up from now on. LOL[/COLOR][/size]

[COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="1"]Who: Member since late 2005. Where: British Columbia...now, and forever. What: Attempting to get my butt back to school...taken waaaay too long. Alternately, though, I've been buisy writing a lot. Finally got published! (only took forever) Currently, I'm working up in Northern BC with developmentally delayed children. I love it, but it's a lot of work. Hoping to continue it within the field of Social Work...maybe. When: Started out in the Arena (starring in RP's & creating them), made my way to the Anthology (wrote a story with a close friend, which is on it's way to get published as well), and then I fell off the face of OB for two years. I had a couple attempts to get back on, but until last month I haven't had much of a chance. Why: I've loved this site since I became a memeber, and I missed it...

[COLOR="DarkRed"]Ok, so I've kina skimmed through this whole thing...and, here's my conclusion. I [b]MAY[/b] be going about it the wrong way, but why not have this turned into it's own sub-forum? ....just an idea. (gawd, I just realized that what it'd do to Shy....give him even more of an ego boost....:animestun) [quote name='Boo'] [font=lucida fax]BTW I keep thinking I'm watching Sara when I'm watching Penelope. It's weird.[/font][/QUOTE] ME TOO! >.

I have to agree with Imp completely: I've wanted to join an RP like this for a while. Although it's been a couple years since I've actually been in one, I can't think of a better RP to make my comback with! I'm all game! Also, I've been playing D&D v3.5 lately (has anyone else heard of Pathfinders?), so this shall be interesting...on to the sign-ups! [COLOR="DarkRed"]Name: Shnorkel Dandoo Age: 56 Race: Gnome Class: Ranger Appearance: Is basically dressed as seen [URL="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ex_whisper_gnome.jpg"][u]here[/u][/URL], but is completely albino. He usually is bandaged from head to toe (think mummies) underneath his armor. Also, has a huge dark cloak. Specialties: Very in touch with nature (although not so much with "regular" society); Master of the Longbow Weapons: Composite Longbow & Naval Dirk Magical Items: A matching set of apparently normal wristbands, magically enchanted to aid in archery. Biography: Shnorkel Dandoo calls the Empire his home, originating from a small village of Gnomes. While he was young, his entire village was killed by a large pack of Were-Rats. All that survived was he himself, as well as his pet spider monkey named Soren. After watching the brutality, he became very socially awkward, refusing to have any relations with humanoids (because he deemed them untrustworthy and evil). He chose to live in the ruins of his village, defending it from all, living off the land, and learning the intricacies of nature. More recently, he has come under the plague of the Bleaching. This is a curse on the Gnomes where, once there is no excitement left in their life, all color leaves their bodies and they slowly die. He gathers his courage, and steps out into the great unknown to save his very life... [/COLOR] PS - This is the same character I'm currently using in an actual game, tweaked to fit into your epic RPG.... :D PPS - If it's ok, I'd like to include an animal companion for him - the albino spider monkey! It's part of the Bio...lemme know whatcha think. The main idea I have for him is to gather up any arrows after battles, and to provide some comic relief as my character is rather dull at the beginning. EDIT - Forgot to put up his Appearance.... >.<

Now that I'm back on OB, after a two year leave, it's time to get started on the Avi/Banner. Here's what I'm thinkin': [URL="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/b/bb/Crimson_Fists_Last_Stand.jpg"]THIS[/URL] is the pic that I've chosen. I don't really have an idea on what I want, so feel free to do whatever you feel. As you can see, it's a Warhammer set, so if you choose to play around with the image at all, try to keep it kina war-torn or some such. Anything that anyone comes up with will be greatly appreciated (as I have no talent whatsoever in this area). ~R ~EDIT ("Crimson Fists" on the banner for the wording. Thx.)

Alright, so I've been thinking of getting the game. It looks promising, but I'm still not too sure. I have a few questions for ya'll: #1 - What are the best qualities of the game? #2 - What are the worst? #3 - What is the best combination of Characters for the main party? #4 - Is it a waste of time/money? Add anything else you feel needs it. Thx ~R

[FONT=Georgia][SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkRed]Freya watched everyone. She wasn't sure how to take the news of freeing Calypso. Was is such a good idea? Freya had her doubts, as did they all, she was sure. But, that doesn't mean that it was a bad thing. [i]Only thing to do is wait, and find out what happens...make my decision later. Besides, I don't even like these...pirates.[/i] "I understand why we would need to free her, but do you really think it's smart?" asked the Lord that looked like an old British soldier. "Alasio, you talk?" commented Freya with a smirk. Alice giggled to herself, watching the two send death-glares at each other. "Fucking rat..." he muttered under his breath. "I am just concerned as to what would happen. None of us really know the extent of Calypso's power, or what could happen to us, and the seas, once she is released. I can see both sides of this, and neither one seems very promising." "That's why we're here," stated Calil, "to make a decision." "So, without Calypso's release, we are all damned," thought Freya outloud. "With her, we're also damned...loose loose situation." "Not necessarily," retorted Mordacai. "As Alasio said, none of us truly know what will happen." "So, we're just supposed to fly by the seats of our pants on this one?" asked Sky skeptically. "Yes, and no." replied Calil mysteriously. "Allow me to explain..." (not sure how this will go...just left an oppening for someone to bring some ideas...)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[CENTER][COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=2][FONT=Georgia][i]Knuckles' Girl gave me permission to do a second profile for this RP to cover any non-taken character spots. So, here we go! Female this time...expect the unexpected. If this is too random (lol) Knuckles' Girl, lemme know and I'll come up with something else...[/i] ~ ~ Sign Up ~ ~ ~ Name ~ Freija Crescent ~ Age ~ 35 ~ Gender ~ Female ~ Post ~ Cpt. Freija Crescent of the great [i]Ragnarok[/i] was standing on an old dock, looking at eight other elegant ships already there. [i]"Heh. Looks like I'm the nearly the last to show up,"[/i] she thought critically to herself. [i]"Never a good thing when in the prescence of newly aquired allies...or foes."[/i] Turning to look upon her ship, she was hit with a wave of nostalgia. Burgundy hull, blood-red trimming and masts, flame-red sails, the [i]Ragnarok[/i] was a ship held in awe by all. A ship of modest stature, it was the smallest of the ships of the Nine. Although it also housed the smallest crew of the Nine as well, there was few on the sea that was as unrelentless or utterly destructive, and absolutely none that matched in skill or combat. However, Freija was often the last in any situation to act, and was very analytical. She weighed everything before jumping into action. But, if you got her temper up, you were in for a world of hurt! Freija remembered aquired the [i]Ragnarok[/i] only a few short months from the previous Lord. Her memories swept her away... Two years after the final confrontation to save Gaia with Zidane, Dagger and the others, Freija had decided to go on another journey. This one, however, was one of conquest rather than liberation. She had become the leader of her tribe back in Burmecia, and was on a mission to expand her newly aquired empire. Taking no fewer than 48 of her best warriors, she went south. Upon nearing the mountains, a glowing hole in the sky opened up, and sucked all 49 warriors into itself. When Freija awoke, her companions and herself were all scattered along a crescent beach. Looking out at the ocean, she saw a brilliant red ship in the bay, heading towards them. Waking her miniature army, they all hid in the surrounding folliage beyond the shore. As the ship set anchor, she watched as numerous boats neard the place where the 49 were only minutes before asleep. Watching calculatingly, she waited until the boats had beached. One among them was dressed in deep scarlet. He seemed to be the leader, the captain. She drew her spear, jumped into the air, and came flying down upon him. He, however, was faster than she had thought. Within seconds the two had become entwined in a deadly duel. The Dragon Warrior rat with her massive javelin. The Scarlet Pirate Lord with his twin swords. Both seemed to be winning and loosing at the same time, but one had slightly more skill. With one swipe, Freija was on the ground, panting after her final death-blow drained her of her energy. "You, rat-thing," spat the dying Pirate, reaching for his ear. "You slayed me...*cough*...this is yours." Freija crouched by the Lord, taking the glittering ruby earring. Examening it, she asked, "What is this?" "It is one of the Eight Pieces of Nine," said the Pirate haltingly. "It signifies you as one of the Nine. The ship is yours, as is the crew." "Why me?" asked Freija skeptically, alternatly eyeing up first the earring, the ship, and the Lord. "Because you slayed me," he replied simply. "You're now a Pirate Lord. Serve the sea with kindness and respect, honor the code, and do me proud, my rat friend." Freija watched awestruck as the Scarlet Pirate Lord exhailed his last breath. [i]"How the winds of fate blow this day,"[/i] she thought. From that point on, Freija started her life as a Pirate Lord. She leared all she needed to know from the Historian onboard the ship, and the Navigation expert. She killed the rest, having her 48 warriors form the crew. Now, after the Historian had informed her of the gathering of the Nine, she was curious to meet the other Pirate Lords. That was the only reason she had even bothered to show up. [i]Well, here goes nothing...[/i] ~ Apperance & Personality~ Freija, photo [URL=http://www.uweb.ucsb.edu/~joyv/freya.jpg]here[/URL], is a dragon knight from one of the three great nations Burmerica. But Freija left the country several years ago when her lover Sir Iron-Tail Fratley never came back as promised and was reported missing. But not believing other people of word of his death she venture out to look for him. Now, the leader of her people, she is wisked away into a world like nothing she has experience before. Freija is a trustworthy and loyal character who hides a dark and tragic past. Freija is quite a humble and mature character and she is quite serious. Get her mad, and she can be rash and unpredictable. And don't be fooled by her appearance. Although she is a mutated Rat from another planet, she is quite the warrior, and is skilled in the mystic art of healing.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

[FONT=Georgia][COLOR=Purple][SIZE=2][CENTER][i]Been away from here for too long, so I thought this was the best one to get back in the swing of things. RANDOM'S BACK![/i] ~Sign Up~ ~Name~ Captain (Richard) Alasio ~Age~ 33 ~Gender~ Male ~Apperance~ [URL=http://www.pendragoncostumes.com/Merchant2/graphics/frames/pirate_frame.gif]Alasio[/URL] Although he looks like a British Soldier, he is quite the opposite. He's always liked tooking "different" from the other Lords, and as such has quite a different take on his attire, although he is Pirate through and through. His eyes are ever changing. One minute, they are blue. Next thing you know, they're brown. Then green. His signature trinkit he always has in possesion, on a chain around his neck, is the locket from his mother: in the shape of a diamond, this locket is special. Upon opening it, one sees a golden sunset on one side. On the other, a stunning silver depiction of a half moon shining through clouds. ~Personality~ A quite type, Richard, known to all as Alasio, is always watching everything around him. Very observative and slow to anger, he makes quite the capitan. Cold, calculating, manitulative, and vengeful, he's a force to be reconed with on the seas, yet he has a soft heart, and is known to be merciful when others wouldn't dare. To others, he seemingly has two seperate personalities, which can get him into alot of trouble, seeing as noone really knows what side of him they can expect to see. ~Post~ Captain Alasio, a man of very regal stature, looked on as his ship, the [i]Gemini Moon,[/i] neared the old decrepit dock in the backwater town. [i]To honor the code, and honor the call,[/i] he thought, a smirk on his face. [i]Who would have thought that it would come to this soo soon?[/i] "Cap'n!" came a voice from behind. "We be nearin' the 'site.'" "I see," Alasio murmered, now looking at his first mate. "Well, Teuel, what think ye o' this grand adventure we be findin' 'urselves in t'day?" "The [i]Gemini Moon[/i] sails strong 'n true," Teuel replied. "However, I be havin' a mighty curious feelin' 'bout this 'un." "I agree with ye," Alasio said, his every-changing eyes fixing on his ship. Fifteen years ago, at the age of 18, Richard Alasio had taken possesion of the [i]Gemini Moon[/i] His aunt had been the previous Capitan, and was also one of the Nine. After she had been slain, lying on her deathbead, she passed the ship, and the title of Pirate Lord, to him. He had grown up with her, and, having no children of her own, he was the only choice for the job. He fit it perfectly. [i]Gemini Moon[/i] was a beautiful ship. It had long carried the Alasio Lords, and it seemed to be ever looking as if it was built not but two years ago. The purple heart wood on starboard, the blue spruce on the port give the ship a unique appearance, and was the inspiration for the name. As such, the sails are a mixture of deep purple and light blue. When any sailor saw the Flag of the [i]Gemini Moon[/i], baised on the two theater masks with a full moon encompasing them on a pure white background, they knew they were safe...as long as they stayed away, but only if Capt. Alasio was in a good mood. "Well, Cap'n, shall we be agoin' to see what this is about?" asked Teuel. "Aye, we shall," Alasio replied. [i]We shall see. To live, or to die...such is the life of a Pirate Lord.[/i] [/CENTER] [/SIZE] [/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Well, FF continues to be a thriving force in the video game world, and XII is no exception. I picked up the game three days ago (sunday), I love it. I haven't really been playing it all that often due to work, but what I have played is friggin' awesome! Good points? There's too many to put down, really. So far, the storyline is great...a bit scattered in the beginning, but that's the same with all video games, really. Bad points? Here we go...[spoiler]I think that the color of the characters' skin was too overthought...a bit of a novice painter look. It adds to the overall look of the game, and is a small point, but I can't seem to not notice it. Also, the fact that it reminds me of FFIX a bit...the whole midieval time-setting is getting a bit old. They did spruce it up with some futuristic things.[/spoiler] Other than that, it's a great game. I'm anxious to finish the game, but that means I'll have to wait (enter number here) (enter period of time here) for the next one...*sigh* Well, off to play some more FFXII![/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']...the Lounge simply doesn't generate enough solely politically based threads to warrant a single forum. Besides the whole purpose of the Lounge is discussion that doesn't belong in other major sections of the boards, so it makes little sense to start splitting hairs as it were when it comes to such a forum.[/SIZE][/quote] That pritty much sums it all right there. Although a good idea, it all comes down to management, and the amount of threads a specific topic would create. As for your second question, which everyone so far has seemed to forgotten, I think that it's a good idea. Here's a reminder: [quote name='Lt.Zero']Also, since a member of the OtakuBoards has the potential of being banned for mispelling on to much, I would like to suggest that a spell check option be available to members when making a new post in a thread. It could be where the options of inserting a shortcut or picture are located.[/quote] I'm not sure how it would be done, seeing as I'm not especially good with the whole web site structure thing, but a spell check would be nice. I think that it would be great, not only for the n00bz or the members who have trouble spelling, but for some of the other members, who just type without paying any attention to spelling. (as in during those heated debates that seem to surface during, ironically enough, the political debates, etc.) That's my two cents. ~Random[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1]Random question time! First off, when are you planning on getting this thing up and running? Second, would you be able to put up a "final accepted" list? Makes it easier to see who all will be RPing. Thirdly, although it's been stated already, sorta, are we all starting together in the same town? As in, when it starts, are all of our characters going to be in the same town, starting the adventure there...or are we going to be spread out across the lands? ~Random[/SIZE][/COLOR]
